I can only attempt to spell the real name of this dish; Cabushka or something like that! My mother's father was from Czechoslovakia, and he has three sisters who are excellent cooks. I have learned to cook this dish quite happily. At our last reunion, there were three separate bowls with different versions of this same dish; they were all scraped clean!

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cabbage , shredded
  • 0.25 pounds bacon , chopped
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 small onion , chopped
  • 1 stalk celery , chopped
  • 0.25 cups chopped green bell pepper
  • 3 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 0.5 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Blanche cabbage briefly in boiling water, remove and drain immediately.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, brown bacon over medium heat until opaque; remove and drain on paper toweling.

  3. 3

    Remove all but 1 tablespoon of bacon grease from the skillet; add the 1 tablespoon vegetable oil and heat over medium heat. Add onion, celery and bell pepper and saute until crisp-tender.

  4. 4

    In a large bowl combine the prepared cabbage, bacon, sauteed vegetable mix (with oil), vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well and serve warm, or chill and serve later.
